There are many problems that a user
can experience when entering a loot code received from a World of Warcraft
trading card or from the UDE Point Store.
The most common problem is that
players take the code straight from the card and try to enter it in game with
Landro in Booty
Bay. This is not the
proper way to redeem a loot code. Players must first type their 25-digit code
into Blizzard’s Promotion Code Retrieval Page located at: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/misc/promotion.html
When a code is redeemed from the
website, that code is “used,” so you need to be very, very sure you have the
correct region and realm information. Otherwise, you risk not being able to
redeem your code for an item. Your code cannot be used a second
time.
Once you have turned your code for
the correct Region and Realm there are a few other common problems that players
have experienced:
Does Landro’s code
box not fit all 25-digits? This is a known bug with this process. Before you do anything else, just log out of World of Warcraft and then log back in. This will usually resolve your problem. On occasion various mods can interfere with
Landro's code redemption box. If you continue to have problems, disable
all add-ons or mods before trying again.
Is the code typed correctly? Often times
just copy and pasting the code from the promotions page can reduce a number of
problems at this step in the process.
Was your
inventory full the first time you entered this code? Blizzard’s
website clearly states that failure to have at least one inventory space
available when redeeming promotional items will result in the loss of the item.
This code can not be used a second time. If you are intending to contact a GM
about this issue you should inform them that you have a problem with a “Lost or
Missing item,” not a defective promotional loot
code.
Are you selecting
the right item from Landro’s list? If you select the
wrong item from his list, it will not accept your code. Please double check
that the name of the card that you are redeeming resembles the name of the in
game item that the code is good for.
He didn’t give me
my Spectral Tiger! Landro does not put any of the
mounts, such as the Spectral Tiger or Rocket Mount, in your inventory. Instead
after you have redeemed these codes a new option will open on his menu to
purchase these mounts if you are the correct level and have the correct riding
skill. If you do not meet these requirements, please return to Booty Bay when you do.
What else can I try? In some weird
scenarios I have heard of the "WTF Folder" in the World of Warcraft Program
files interfering with the loot code redemption process. Delete or move this
folder, and reload World of Warcraft. Also, combat and non-combat pets can cause problems. Please dismiss your pet before trying again.
Please be aware that once a code has
been entered through Blizzard’s Promotional page and informed a customer of the
Region and Realm that the code has been redeemed on, Upper Deck no longer has
any power over the item. Upper Deck can not move or replace items inside
Blizzard’s online game.
